Abstract
Mapping permits and ecological data across the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park allowed us to quantify and rigorously compare interacting social and ecological scales. Institutions (permits) and ecological systems both varied at multiple scales. The scales of permissions were typically bimodal and larger than ecological scales. Thus, we propose that effective management may have to occur at broader scales than ecological variation. Further comparable examples are needed for establishing the generality of this proposition.
